I was told just as long as you keep all voltages under 1.55(excluding ram) and temps under 60C(excluding video card) you will be fine for 24.7 usage.

Agree with you pos, but 3.4Ghz is the norm for a 425. I heard anything past 3.7ghz on an Athlon II things go wonky.

thats the reason i said 3.4-3.6ghz
but i don't think that the 3.7ghz rule applies to the AII X2's well atleast not the one that i had or a few others i have seen. 4ghz was fairly easy on my AII X2 even under a 64bit OS and 3.9ghz was stable 24/7...
i need another AMD system to play around with. I'm tired of the i7 3.9ghz 24/7 on it was easy once i got it underwater
sorry to kind of get off topic here

Run through a single linX run at maximum ram available. If you can get through that without BSOD/freeze then you should be ok for 24.7.

I would personally advise trying to get it a little more stable than this (ie, it should be able to run linpack tests like linX on maximum for a decent number of runs and get no errors...)
Otherwise you're not really stable.

What would you claim as "really stable"? I claim rock solid stable as 1hr of OCCT small data set and stable as 1 linx maximum run. As you can see, "stable" becomes more personal preference than anything. Oh and a little tip ...

Hmm, I'll run 1hr of OCCT small data and TEN linx max runs
and i'll watch it using real temp
i'm go for 3.6ghz stock volts... when that fails i'll bump the voltage up
